Full changelog: v0.4.0...v0.4.1

V2Mac 0.4.0

What's changed

• Add and edit servers by hand, with every option of each protocol
  • New Server (Shift-Cmd-N, or Enter Details Manually in the Add sheet) builds a VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria 2, WireGuard, SOCKS5 or HTTP server from its fields
  • Edit changes a pasted server in place; a subscription's server is edited as a copy saved in Custom Configs
  • Transport, TLS and REALITY options and Mux can be set for VLESS, VMess, Trojan and Shadowsocks
  • Edited servers keep a working share link and QR code
  • Full Xray configs can be edited as JSON
• Click the server name in the bottom bar to jump to the active server in its list
  • Opens the server's own subscription or Custom Configs, selects the row and scrolls it into view
• Add a Favorites list in the sidebar for the servers you star
  • Add or remove a favorite from a server's right-click menu or from the inspector
  • A favorite stays when its subscription drops it; automatic updates never remove one
  • After a manual update, a message offers to remove or keep favorites that are no longer in the subscription
• Give the installer window a background with a drag-to-Applications arrow
  • Opening the DMG now shows V2Mac and the Applications folder placed on either side of the arrow
• Show where your traffic comes out after connecting: flag, city, country and IP address
  • The connection bar and the menu bar panel show the exit location and address, with a copy button
  • The menu bar icon gets a green badge with the two-letter country code
  • If nothing answers through the server, the app says traffic is not passing instead of just Connected
  • Both can be turned off in Settings → Connection; the check is skipped in Direct mode
• Make the Update and Test toolbar buttons the same shape, with the icon and arrow centred
  • Clicking the Update icon now updates right away without the proxy; the arrow beside it still opens the choices
• Add notifications for connection problems, expiring subscriptions and updates, with a Notifications tab in Settings
  • Connection lost or failed, a busy port (with a button to use the next free one), and TUN mode stopping
  • A subscription close to its expiry date or traffic quota, each warning sent once
  • A new V2Mac or Xray core release, a failed automatic update, changed servers, and a finished delay test
  • Every kind has its own switch in Settings → Notifications; the quieter ones start off
• Add an "Allow insecure servers" setting so servers with a self-signed certificate can connect
  • Off by default, in Settings → Connection; it only affects servers whose link says allowInsecure
  • Works for connecting, switching servers and delay tests, including Hysteria 2
  • Refresh a subscription once so its existing servers pick this up
• Import Shadowsocks links that use v2ray-plugin or simple-obfs, and Hysteria 2 links with a pinned certificate
  • Shadowsocks servers behind v2ray-plugin, xray-plugin or simple-obfs (HTTP mode) are no longer skipped
  • Hysteria 2 links with pinSHA256 are no longer skipped, so self-signed servers that pin their certificate connect

Full changelog: v0.3.5...v0.4.0

V2Mac 0.3.5

What's changed

• Make resizing the window about twice as fast and cut background redraws
  • The inspector is now a fixed-width panel beside the server list, which is what made resizing slow
  • Running a delay or speed test no longer re-sorts the whole server list on every result
  • Selecting a server no longer rebuilds the server list
  • The connection bar and menu bar panel redraw only the speed numbers each second
  • The log window keeps following new lines after 5000 lines and stays fast when the log is full
• Add TLS fragment, noise packets, custom DNS and switching servers without a restart
  • New Connection tab in Settings with a switch for each of these
  • TLS fragment and noise packets help reach servers on filtered networks; both are off by default
  • Custom DNS chooses the servers used for routing decisions and for direct traffic
  • Picking another share-link server now replaces it inside the running core, so the local port stays up
  • Full Xray configs keep their own DNS and always restart when you switch to them
• Fix a crash in narrow windows and make resizing the window much smoother
  • The app no longer quits by itself when the window is narrow and the inspector is open
  • The connection bar now works out what fits from its width instead of laying itself out five times
  • Resizing the window no longer rebuilds the whole server list on every step

V2Mac 0.3.4

What's changed

• Stop the server list from sliding sideways when all its columns already fit
  • Swiping left or right moves the list only when the columns are wider than the window
• Place the menu bar icon beside the system icons instead of at the far left
  • A newly installed V2Mac no longer starts where the MacBook notch hides it
  • An icon you already moved by Command-dragging stays where you put it
• Make TCP Ping work for full Xray configs instead of showing "n/a"
  • A full config is pinged at the address of its proxy server
  • Hysteria, WireGuard and mKCP servers still show "n/a" because they do not use TCP
• Move the custom config routing note into the connection bar's status line
  • A full Xray config now shows "Connected · Custom routing" instead of a separate "Managed by this config" label
  • This leaves room for the local address next to the traffic graph and speeds
• Stop the traffic graph from shifting sideways as the speeds change
  • The download and upload speeds in the connection bar now keep a fixed width
• Keep the traffic graph and speeds in the connection bar when the sidebar is open
  • In a narrow bar the download and upload speeds stack on two lines instead of disappearing
  • If there is still no room, the local address is hidden before the speeds are
• Fix the speed test always showing "failed"
  • The default speed test file is now 50 MB, because Cloudflare refuses downloads of 100 MB or more
  • A saved copy of the old default address is replaced automatically

• Always show the Custom Configs group and open the Add sheet on Custom Config
  • The Custom Configs group stays in the sidebar even when it is empty

  • The Add sheet's fields change with an animation when you switch type
• Show the empty server list message on a Liquid Glass card
